It is accepted that hydrogen produced from various biomass sources is likely to be play a significant part of a hydrogen future energy. However, for a biomass route to hydrogen it is imperative that the conversion processes available are improved and technologies that can process a range of different biomass feeds are evaluated. The project will maximise...
